The hop program generates real plane fractals as described in the September 1986 issue of Scientific American.

hopalong accepts the following options:

Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
Draw on the root window.
--window-id number
Draw on the specified window.
If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
Install a private colormap for the window.
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
How many colors should be used (if possible). Default 200. The colors used cycle through the hue, making N stops around the color wheel.
How long to run each batch. Default 2500 pixels.
How many pixels should be drawn before a color change. Default 1000.
Whether to use the Jong format (default is to choose randomly.)
Whether to use the Sine format (default is to choose randomly.)
Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

to get the default host and display number.
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
The window ID to use with --root.
